i read that earlier this is good. I read somewhere i cant remember that a lot of the rides are still able to run. I saw a pov of Red Devil during the beginning of the year and i really want to add it to my coaster count.

That's what you said about "New Coke" too!

I really hope the park reopens. With it being half way to Dollywood, you know what would be my rest stop each trip up there!!!

I drove by there this Spring and took pics (since I had never visited it when it was open) and there does look like they will need to do a good bit of work.

The Tommy and James pics I think showed bumper cars just rotting and stuff like that. I think the cable cars will have to be replaced and the incline railroad refurbished.

If you've never been on one, it's quite a thrill in itself. I rode the one at Chattanooga and it's quite scary thinking the only thing keeping you from a loud and painful death is a big cable.

Any chance of posting your pics?

^ Ask and it shall be granted...

So I guess it's safe to say this never panned out?

Its only april...it can still happen! :rolleyes:

I wonder if we're going to have to wait for the old geezer to pass on before the place gets sold.

It seems very strange that it's taking this long to settle a deal with someone.

This is awesome. Maybe now I can finally go to it.

If it is still in the works, that is.

This was posted back in November, so i think it's still in the works:

That is referring to the same article that this thread is about.
